Saddles and Smiles is a non-profit institution located at 1023 Cortland Road in Davis, West Virginia, United States. Our mission is to provide equine assisted learning experiences for children, teens, and young adults facing various challenges, allowing each participant to reach their highest potential. Situated in the picturesque Canaan Valley, just six miles south of Davis in Tucker County, WV, Saddles and Smiles offers a unique opportunity for individuals to connect with horses and experience the therapeutic benefits of equine-assisted activities.

We invite you to share our work and help us reach more individuals who can benefit from our services. Whether you know someone who could benefit from our programs, or if you are able to support us through fundraising or volunteering, we appreciate any assistance in continuing to provide these important services.

Volunteers are always welcome to spend time in our barn and work with our participants, and we also host three camps each summer where additional hands and ideas are needed. By becoming a part of our community, you can witness the magic that happens when kids and horses come together.

Each session at Saddles and Smiles is tailored to the individual client, with their needs guiding the activities that take place. While horses play a central role, a variety of events and exercises are incorporated to support the client's growth and well-being. Activities may include horseback riding, grooming, ground exercises, and more, all designed to promote personal development and emotional healing. Join us at Saddles and Smiles and experience the transformative power of equine-assisted therapy.
